Ford PH broadens its Best-In-Class Ranger Lineup

Ford Philippines recently announced the broadening of their market through its newest Ranger lineup, including three new Wildtrak variants. The range-topping Wildtrak series will now include the 2.2L Ranger Wildtrak 4×2 in both automatic and manual transmissions, and a 3.2L Ranger Wildtrak 4×4 in manual transmission. These additional variants will be available by June in all dealerships at the following price points:

“The Ranger continues to be one of our top-selling nameplates and we are very excited to offer customers even more options to meet their needs,” said Kay Hart, managing director, Ford Philippines.

Powered by the proven Duratorq TDCi 2.2L engine in both 6-speed automatic and manual transmission, the new Ranger Wildtrak 4×2 variants are guaranteed to deliver more power in their segments, achieving a peak torque output of 375 Nm and power output of 150 PS.

New variants also include additional safety technologies that used to be exclusively available on the 3.2L Ranger Wildtrak, such as the Side and Curtain Airbags. These airbags deploy from the headliner to provide a protective cushion for the head of outboard occupants in the event of a significant side impact while the curtain is designed to protect both rows of occupants by covering the upper side structure and glass from the A-pillar to the C-pillar.

Sporting the premium styling that is known for, is much more enhanced for the range-topping Wildtrak. Sitting high on 18-inch alloy wheels, the Wildtrak features an attractive Sport Package with Roof Rail, Sport Bar, Box Rail, Bedliner and Special Wildtrak Leather Seats, Steering Wheel and Door Trim. The exclusive Wildtrak badging and graphics, accentuates its aggressive look and sporty stance.

On the other hand, the 3.2L Ranger Wildtrak MT is powered by the state-of-the-art Duratorq TDCi 3.2L engine, delivering a substantial 470 Nm of torque and power rated at 200 PS. It comes with 6-speed manual transmission, promising to continue delivering excellent fuel economy and class-leading power.

The 3.2L Ranger Wildtrak MT has the same exclusive features like the Rear View Camera, Cooled Center Console, premium eight-way power adjustable seats and the 12V socket on the Bedliner, like the other Wildtrak variants.
